Impact of Amerind ancestry and FADS genetic variation on omega-3 deficiency and cardiometabolic traits in Hispanic populations

Yang et al. examine whether genetic ancestry is associated with genetic variation in fatty acid desaturases and plasma phospholipid levels of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in Hispanic Americans. They find strong associations between Amerind genetic ancestry and LC-PUFA levels; an...

Sumario:Yang et al. examine whether genetic ancestry is associated with genetic variation in fatty acid desaturases and plasma phospholipid levels of long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (LC-PUFAs) in Hispanic Americans. They find strong associations between Amerind genetic ancestry and LC-PUFA levels; and report that the well-known FADS rs174537 variant was associated with several metabolic, inflammatory and anthropomorphic traits including circulating triglycerides.
